Communication Scenarios

Scenarios According to Francis (2012) information is the means of support in an organization. To effectively convey information, communication is necessary. Communication is conveyed in several forms, including verbal and written methods. It is important that the method used to convey the information is comprehensible by its intended recipient. Otherwise the communication is wasted and a business could suffer.
In Scenario I, a Marketing Manager is asked by the Vice President of Operations to be in charge of developing a strategy for entering a new beverage into the global market. Now the manager has to convey the task and provide the details of the product to his team, so they can develop a strategy and present it back to the Vice President in one week. The communication channel that should be used in this scenario is face to face. This channel is the best choice because it will allow the manager to convey all of the details of the product to his team in a timeless matter and receive immediate feedback/ clarifications. (Robbins and Judge, 2011) To convey the strategy to the Vice President I believe face to face and written communication should be used. These communication channels are the best choices because the team will be able to present the information with visual aids; this will allow everyone to refer to the marketing plan on a later date. Also, this way the Vice President will be allowed to hear and see the development from the team. Face to face communication will also allow the Marketing Manager and team to breakdown and explain their strategy in details. While the Vice President will be able to ask questions immediate, as well as, to get a clear understanding of the productivity. (Robbins and Judge, 2011)

Communication Channel Scenarios
The content of this paper will provide details involving communication channel scenarios, which channel is appropriate for the scene, and why the channel was chosen to convey the message. First, communication is a two-way process of reaching an understanding by which information is exchanged either informally or formally by means of a common system of signs, symbols, and behavior.
Scenario 1
In scene one the vice president of operations has assigned the marketing manager the task of developing a marketing strategy introducing a new beverage that has done well in the United States for the global market. The marketing managers’ team has one week to develop a strategy.
The most effective channel of communication for this scenario would be a downward channel of communication because the marketing manager will be communicating an assigned goal, instructions, a deadline, and details to the team members. The most effective medium that would be most engaging would be the use of electronic communication via video conference because the task has to be completed in one week, is a short notice meeting, and the team members may not be available at such short notice. A face-to-face, upward channel of communication would be appropriate when the marketing manager performs the marketing strategy presentation for the vice president of operations, as this channel will provide an outlet for......

Scenario #1
In the scenario from checkpoint 8-4 from Clinical Delegation Skills, Rashad, a nurses aid, was very wrongly degraded and yelled at by the registered nurse. The belittling attitude that the nurse had with the aid was unacceptable, and very unprofessional. The nurse’s choice of communication style was aggressive, while Rashad responded immediately in a passive way, by not speaking up or acting in his defense against her actions. However, internally Rashad wanted to plan a way to get the nurse back, and mentally planned to not “do anything without being told”, which would be more of a passive-aggressive style of communication (Hansten & Jackson, 2009, p. 283). However, Rashad’s best bet would have been to be more assertive and active in his voice, to not allow the nurse, or any other member of the healthcare team, to degrade his worth. The work that aids do is unparalleled to anything else, and the nurse should acknowledge and respect that, not be rude and unprofessional. Both communication styles were incorrect for their own different reasons, and caused more tension than anything else. Being polite yet assertive and professional is the best way to ensure the working environment is calm, smooth, and the colleagues are all understood, respected, and appreciated. All of that, in turn, leads to appropriate communications within the setting.

Scenarios
Within the following pages are responses to certain scenarios and which communication channel is best. According to Robbins and Judge (2011), “There are two main forms of communication channels; oral communication and written communication.” Within the two forms of communication channels there are 10 different types; formal reports, memos and letters, prerecorded speeches, electronic mail, online discussion groups, voicemail, live speeches, telephone conversations, video conferences, and face to face conversations. Within the following three different scenarios, I will discuss which type of communication channel works best for each and provide a defense to each of the choses.
Scenario #1
‘The character is a marketing manager for a new beverage that has done remarkable well in the United States after its introduction, especially in sports arenas such as football and basketball. The vice president of operations charged you and your team to develop a strategy for entering this new beverage into the global market. You need to take this task back to your team, provide them with the product details, and get them started as quickly as possible because they only have one week to develop a strategy.’
The best communication channel available to interact with the team would be face-to-face conversations. I say this because the team has only one week to develop a......

...Communication Channel Scenario I
The first scenario states that I am a marketing manager for a company marketing a new beverage. The beverage is selling very well in the United States. My boss is the VP of Operations. My boss has tasked me and my marketing team to develop a strategy to market this product globally. My team and I have one week to present this strategy to him.
After carefully reading and considering the situation presented in Scenario I, I believe the best communication channel to use would be face-to-face conversation (if my employees are local to me) or video conferencing (if my employees are geographically separated). For the sake of this discussion, I will assume that my employees are local to me. With that in mind I will discuss this task with them in a face-to-face team meeting.
I think this is the best method of communication to use because my team has only one week to develop and present the strategy to the VP of Operations. For a task that requires such a quick turnaround, I need to present it to my staff in a quick and accurate manner. We have no room for error or misunderstanding with such a short suspense date. A face-to-face team meeting would allow my staff members to provide quick and immediate feedback with very little miscommunication or misunderstanding. This is because this form of communication rates highest in channel richness (Robbins & Judge, 2011, p. 358).
When the time comes for me to present the marketing strategy to the...

Communication Channel Scenarios
FIRST SCENARIO
The first scenario states that you are a Marketing Manager for a beverage company that wants to sell its product globally. The Vice President of Operation has given your team the task to market the beverage worldwide and you only have one week to come up with a plan. You are given all the details of the product, and what channels of communication would you use to rely this to your team? Further, what channel would you use to convey your plan back to the Vice President of Operations? Given this scenario, I would use the formal organizational network called all-channel.
All-channel allows every member on the team to correspond with each other. This type of channel is fast, moderately accurate, and has a high satisfaction rate among the team (Stephen P. Robbins, 2011). A good example of all-channel is a meeting in a conference room. There, a manager could give the task to the team and everyone can give input on how to go about doing the project. Everyone on the team will know what the rest of the team is doing and what is expected of him or her. After the market strategy has come together, I would use the chain channel to communicate the plan back to the Vice President of Operations.
The chain channel tightly follows the official chain of authority (Stephen P. Robbins, 2011). Using the chain channel......

Communication Channel Scenarios
In business, how information is communicated is very important and has a lasting impression. Selecting the correct method ensures that everyone is aware of any changes being made and has a clear understanding of how the changes will be implemented. In this paper, the student is responsible for reading three scenarios and responding accordingly.
Scenario 1
In scenario one, the student serves as the marketing manager for a new beverage that is doing well in the United States. Now the Vice President of operations wants the beverage to go global and the team must be made aware of product details so they can get started. In this scenario, the best communication channel would be a mixture of external and internal communication. Francis (2011) states, “External communication is any communication between a business and the outside world. Public relations statements, press releases, marketing materials, commercials, and articles and books written by or about the business are all examples of external communication.”
External communication would be used to advertise the new product to the outside world. Print ads, television ads, and radio ads would be beneficial to spread the word about the new drink. Internal communication would be used to update the other team members and the best method would be a face-to-face meeting. A face-to-face meeting would allow the......

Communication Channel Scenarios
Scenario I
Informal communication channel will be used. I feel that this channel will be a great choice in this situation, because we need immediate feedback and have a goal to obtain with a deadline. Upward communication would be used to convey the message to the Vice President of Operations. The reason I feel this is the best choice is, because this form of communication is being used to provide feedback to higher ups, progress towards goals and relay current problems if any. (Robbins & Judge,(11) pp 344-345)
Scenario II
Formal email communication will be used to contact the IT department. This channel will be best choice for this situation, because it will be following company procedure for technical support and its’ quickly written and immediately sent. Downward communication is used for employee communication. It’s keeping them informed and providing them with instructions on the new login and password. (Robbins & Judge,(11) pp 344, 351)
Scenario III
Channel richness would be used to inform employees about the reduction of workforce. This channel is best choice because you will be utilizing different angles of communication to your employees. You want to use written communication which is providing something concrete for them to review. Along with oral communication, which is,......

Why is this channel the best choice in this situtation?
As the Marketing Manager, my chosen communication channel would be to conduct a Face-to-face conversation with the entire team. With the short amount of time that was determined by the Vice President of Operations, this communication channel will allow me to effectively get the entire team to be on the same page. In addition to face-to-face communication, formal reports along with written examples and pictorial details will help my team understand the strategic goals and objectives instructed by the Vice President of Operations.

...The communication style that I would use with my team to develop a marketing strategy entering a new beverage into the global market would be oral communication. This channel is the best choice because I have to provide the team with details about the product and we only have a week to develop a strategy. Meeting face to face is the quickest way to collectively come up with ideas and provide feedback. To convey the strategy to the Vice President of Operations I would use written communication in the form of an email. This is the best choice in this situation because the marketing strategy would include a number of steps and with written communication we would be able to list the process step by step. Written communication is also the best choice because the Vice President of Operations can also refer back to the communication for future references.
Scenario II
To contact the IT department I would use oral communication in the form of a telephone call. This channel is the best because I need to speak with someone immediately to find out why the login information is no longer working. I would call a meeting with the 11 employees to inform them about what happened and provide them with a memo that contain the new login and password. This is the best choice in this situation because I need to get this information to the employees so that they are able to log into the computer application.

Communication Channels
Choosing the right form of communication channel to effectively deliver a message to the appropriate audience is important. It is not uncommon for the sender to pick the wrong communication channel simply because they want to choose the easiest and quickest method possible. Based on several scenarios, I will be discussing the best communication channel at different levels.
For Scenario 1, the most effective communication channel I would use would be a face-to-face because I only have one week for my team to develop a strategy for entering a new beverage into the global market. Since time constraints and product details are vital to developing this strategy, the face-to-face communication will quickly facilitate questions, ideas, concerns, and feedback from the team resulting in commitment and support. More importantly, each team will have assigned tasks and a concrete deadline for task completion. As a marketing manager, I have selected both formal reports and face-to-face communication to convey the team’s new strategy. These are the most effective communication channels because it allows me to provide the vice president a detailed written outline on the development strategy for the new beverage. However, the complexity of this new strategy requires oral communication to reduce confusion and misunderstandings. (Robbins, pg 14) Lastly, I have the......

...Communication Channel Scenarios
Senario 1
In scenario one, the vice president of operations charges the manager with rapidly putting together a strategy with his team. The compressed time line for the development of a strategy requires a communication rich channel to enable the team to work quickly with maximum feedback to the effort in near real time. The team must include as many ideas as possible first before breaking off to research the data necessary to build a strong supporting argument for their chosen business case.
What communication channel will you use? The best communication channel that will meet the requirements of this situation is a face to face team meeting. The meeting can take place in a conference room or via a video conference, but will be face to face. Using video conference solutions is similar in most regards to a live meeting of the whole team in the same room. Our modern workplace, with dispersed workforce, does not always allow for a work group to be located in the same room.
Why is this channel the best choice in this situation? The face to face communication channel is the best choice, because it allows all team members to interact in real time. The team can share ideas as they develop during the discussion and present those real time to the rest of the team members. In this scenario, the team has very little time to develop ideas, and then follow up those ideas with the necessary research to determine which of the team ideas have......

...Week 1 Assignment – Selecting the right communication channel
Scenario 1
Question: You are the marketing manager for a new beverage that has done remarkably well in the United States after its introduction, especially in sports arenas such as football and basketball. The vice president of operations charged you and your team to develop a strategy for entering this new beverage into the global market. You need to take this task back to your team, provide them with the product details, and get them started as quickly as possible because they only have one week to develop a strategy.
What communication channel will you use? Why is this channel the best choice in this situation? What communication channel will you use to convey your strategy to the vice president of operations? Why is this channel the best choice in this situation?
Answer: I would prefer to use face to face meeting in this scenario. Face to face meeting is the best method of communication for this situation to provide the product details and getting the team members start working quickly on developing the strategy for entering the new market would serve as an ideal communication channel. According to chapter 11 of the Organizational Behavior material, face to face conversation in this scenario scores highest in channels richness because it transmits the most information like instant feedback, words, gestures and the experience personal touch of presence. While discussing product details questions or doubts......
